| Current source/Voltage source, and like questions Timpani...The "simple network" that I suggested is the "current feedback" which you mention. | |
| Speakers for vocalists Kkm...Some recordings are like that, but others give pinpoint imaging. It's not the speakers. Maybe you need to fiddle with placement or room treatment, especially the wall behind the speakers.The point source concept is overrated. Even if the sou... | |
| Can all amps drive a 4 ohm load? Nothing will be damaged. If your objective is just to sample the planar sonic perspective, low volume is OK, and your amp will suffice. Just don't expect to evaluate the potential of the Maggies. | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Newbee...Yes that's what Newton said, but he also explained how to calculate how much that reaction would be. We agree that other effects swamp speaker movement, if any. | |
| LP collection management...what do you guys do? The method I used for keeping track of memos, reports, and the like, I called "Vertical Chronological Filing System". In other words, after using an item throw it on the top of a pile. This also works for CDs. What you use frequently naturally ris... | |
| Speaker cable vs. interconnect cable length Think about the length of line level signal cables used between microphones and recording equipment. Fifty feet or more. Obviously not a problem unless you have lousy wire or high impedance outputs.Besides, having long interconnects qualifies you ... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Line...You need two chains to avoid the speaker pointing in different directions. If you use three chains, it can't swing either. | |
| Why do mass marketed CD's sound so crappy? Rockethouse...If you used a finger, instead of a toe, your system would be "digital" :-) | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER "Better", or "different"? That there are differences cannot be argued. Of course the two products were mixed down differently, perhaps even by different people. For the LP there must be RIAA equalization and blending of the LF material to mono (to... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Rsbeck...Until I heard what people say on this site I just assumed that the data from reading the disc went into a buffer register, and was gated out one (16 bit) word at a time. Coming from my experience with military digital equipment it's obvio... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? How about "the ultimate one box system". 1. CD/DVD/SACD transport.2. Hard disc to store the music, with playback immediately (no jitter), or later.3. Video screen for index of library, and control.4. Digital Power amp.and maybe AM/FM/XM radio tune... | |
| Why do mass marketed CD's sound so crappy? Rockethouse...My point was that there is a way to limit dynamic range without the kind of distortion caused by electronic compression..."Gain riding". For those unfamiliar with the term, this means manual gain control in real time by a recording e... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Albertporter...True, but...with the exception of Klipshorns and some Allison (sp?) speakers that were designed with room boundries in mind I find that the bass augmentation due to walls and floor sounds false to me. I prefer less bass, unless I ca... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Hanging sceptics will never be convinced until they try it. For those who have a logical bent, the following points may be of interest. 1. The mass of the speaker cone, and the air it moves, is tiny compared with the mass of the loudspeaker enclos... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Absolutely the best way to locate speakers (from the acoustic point of view). Not popular with wives. Ignore all the talk about the speakers moving. They don't. |
